- MikeonTV, on 11/08/2007, -2/+6You might want to try reading the article numbnuts.
- hohlermann, on 11/09/2007, -0/+4I wrote a document analysis tag cloud generator that uses the Yahoo! term extraction API named "tagverse". You just enter a plain text document with at least three paragraphs, and tagverse will generate a tag cloud from extracted key terms. tagverse works best with documents containing a large number of paragraphs such as speeches and news articles, as it extracts unique terms from each paragraph. Otherwise, the results may be disproportionally weighted. http://theconfluence.org/projects/tagverse/

- Haplo, on 11/07/2007, -0/+3I wrote a Perl program that generates tag clouds from Google searches that hit your web pages: http://johnbokma.com/perl/google-search-cloud.html
Very informative in my own opinion. - Grimdotdotdot, on 11/09/2007, -0/+2And that 'reply' button...
- str3ama, on 11/08/2007, -2/+4they're not a fad, it's a very nice and simple way of presenting data when done right.

- sancho320, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1meh.
- NeonElixir, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1I think tag clouds are neat, but I always end up glancing at them briefly or ignore them altogether.
- wrttnwrd, on 11/09/2007, -2/+3They're just a fad, like that whole internets thing.
- Ryosen, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Oh, I'm sorry. We tend to prefer our spam to be posted in English. Buried, Banned, Buh-Bye.
- hohlermann, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1That's pretty rad, thanks for sharing.
- umdk1d3, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Here's a site that's based around a good tag-cloud setup: http://www.tehorng.com/genre.php?genre=screamo
They use the tag cloud to mark how artists interact with genres, and then sprinkle album art along the sides to keep it from getting too bland. - flatlinebb, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Good job, kudos!

uses a tag cloud to size concerts based on how much you might enjoy them once youve signed up. Also has a rollover state to display concert information - grantmc1, on 11/08/2007, -2/+1Very nice! Some good ones in the showcase!
- inactive, on 11/07/2007, -1/+0like the overview, though I mus agree on the internet being sooooo 90's
- dazparkour, on 11/08/2007, -3/+2This article is a new low.
Next: Font size and how you can tell the age of the authors birth parents. - apseude, on 11/07/2007, -1/+0personally i find them very "fast" in pointing out the interesting things...in a whole lot of nothing
- pelline, on 11/07/2007, -2/+0yah, people will forget all about the internet in 5 years. and we will send mail with pigeons again, maybe even ping them with rss feeds.
- MoXiECaN, on 11/07/2007, -3/+0I use tag clouds, not sure how long they will be popular though
